Introduction
Madagascar 3 is the video game based on the new movie of the same title. The plot of the game revolves around the animals of Madagascar working in the circus in order to get themselves back home to New York City. Throughout the game, they visit various locals throughout Europe and go on adventures in the cities in an attempt to promote the circus later on, as well as put on the circus show of their lives. The game itself is very basic as it is a family/kids type game and includes a mixture of platforming, racing, & mini-game type events. The hardest trophies in the game are the ones that are collectible related as there are 195 items you need to find for each of the 4 playable characters, although most of them are extremely easy to find.
Walkthrough
Step #1: Play Story Mode
You will get the majority of the trophies just by playing Story Mode, so that's where you should start out. While playing through Story Mode, make sure you aim at trying to 5 star all the city events and circus acts in each city, as well as collect all the Scrap Wood required in each location. You don't have to worry about the character's collectibles during this run as you'll need to replay the locations in free roam to get them all afterwards since all the characters are not available in each area during this run.
Step #2: 5 Star City Events & Circus Act Clean-Up Run
If you are missing 5 stars on any of the city events or circus acts, now is the time to go back and complete these now. In the main circus tent (main menu type screen), select Missions -> Replay to access the city events or the circus tent to get to the various circus events. After selecting each city, it will show you what your ratings are on each of the events/acts so you know what you still have to get the 5 stars on.
Step #3: Collectibles Free Roam Clean-Up
After Step #2, you should only have the 4 collectible trophies (The Ultimate Showman!, Circus Beauty!, A Real Blast! & A Rare Sight!) and the Platinum (If you are missing any other ones, make sure to go back and clean those up now). From the main tent (main menu type screen), go to Mission -> Free Roam and select the desired city and location you want to go after and obtain all the collectibles from that area, then rinse and repeat with the rest. After you obtain the last collectible for the last character, you should have all the trophies and your much deserved Platinum trophy as well!
